Join Our Pack! On a daily basis, we have new foster dogs and cats coming into the system that need medical care, such as insulin, heart meds, allergy meds etc. Won't you be part of the pack and help with a monthly donation?
2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue is primarily a sanctuary for senior and medically needy dogs. Every once in awhile you will see younger dogs but for the most part our dogs live out their life at the ranch at the request of their previous owners or their owners families. We have many sponsorship dogs. Our sponsors love to keep in touch and know how their sponsored fur buddy is doing :) When we have foster families we are thrilled to be able to take adoptable younger dogs :) So if you have ever thought about becoming fosters please feel free to go to our foster/volunteer page and fill out an application. The Ranch located at 737 Taylor Rd., Windsor, PA is always looking for dedicated volunteers that will commit to at least a 2 hour shift per week at the rescue. Volunteers work in play yards, help with laundry and feeding. Some enjoy landscaping or carpentry projects and some like to bake for the healing center visitors :) Thank you for supporting our mission of caring for the elderly and medically needy souls that need us!

This little girl is so precious! She was being eaten by fleas so she is looking a little rough right now but in no time she is going to be absolutely beautiful and her fur will shine again. We are so excited to see the beautiful Ava come to life!
Ava is very pleasant. She loves to be brushed and have her belly rubbed. She will curl up with you at night or make her place on her blanket on the sofa, if you wish. She is docile, loving, and an all around friendly girl to have around.
Ava just had her first bath since arriving for rescue. While she seemed pretty scared, she was definitely very proud of her new soft, clean smelling coat. She went outside in the breeze to play and was fluff dried in no time. Ava definitely smells MUCH better and seems to be pleased with the results of her spa time. She continues to claim her spot on the sofa and in bed with her favorite little boy at night. There have been no potty accidents and she has continued to always be on her best behavior. It is hard to believe that anybody could have left this little girl leave their lives. Wouldn't you like to have the perfect dog in your life? If so, please fill out an application to meet Ava...they don't get anymore perfect than her!!
Please understand we do not adopt out dogs to families with children under the age of 5. We do not adopt dogs to renters. Some dogs will have fence requirements while others may not.
A pet is a lifetime commitment. The dogs and cats in our system find themselves there, for the most part, because their humans did not have the same loyalty to them as they did to their owners. We do not take the adoption process lightly, and will do everything in our power to make sure the animal is placed correctly the first time around for your sake and theirs. Thank you for choosing to adopt not shop!
